          Bazaar is a new version control system sponsored by Canonical, the
          commercial company behind Ubuntu. Unlike Subversion and CVS that
          only support a central repository model, Bazaar also supports
          <span class="em emphasis">distributed version control</span>, giving people
          the ability to collaborate more efficiently. In particular,
          Bazaar is designed to maximize the level of community participation
          in open source projects.
